Exceptional Customer Service

The woman at the front desk who checked us in and helped us make a reservation in the restaurant was so gracious and helpful that she alone deserves five stars! All staff were great, and treated us with kindness and helpfulness. Upon arrival, we were greeted with ice cold lemonade, which was much appreciated after a long day in the warm weather. The service staff definitely enhanced our stay. Thanks to all!

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff and well kept property. They could use more outlets in each room. They may need a little heating source in their rooms or maybe more blankets for cool nights. They did our laundry quickly for $25 (since we came back from zipping soaking wet).
Suzanne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Likely better places to stay

Very basic hotel. Overpriced given how basic it was. Clean but no fan or windows that opened so had to have the door open for air. Our room was At the top of the stairs and overlooked the courtyard. Noisy with staff cleaning up late at night and then setting up at 530 am.
Kathleen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Pretty average, was only there for one night so done the job
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice but not great!

Nice place in general but various issues including difficulty checking-in (could not find our reservation), lousy service at the restaurant and food not that great, no coffee for breakfast one morning after being told for 40 minutes that there would be some in two minutes, reception staff not overly familiar with tours, and cleaning staff very loud outside starting at 6:00 am!

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property with large dining room for breakfast. Only downside is that it is Not walkable to Santa Elena town.
Adeline, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel environment was beautiful, but the room was too small with nothing except a coffee machine. We also experienced a short period of outage, due to the strong rain and wind . We didn’t prepare for this and got a little panic.

Amazing First Day at Monteverde

We had an overall good experience at this hotel. The breakfast was especially great! Spotting an armarillo crossing road was a plus.
Do Hyun, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very nice. A great tropical experience.
kevin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay while visiting the area. The room was quite comfortable, the breakfast on site in the hotel's own restaurant was great, and there was a great second choice restaurant just across the street. We ended up eating there twice and the food was great with great prices. The hotel is convenient to everything but just far enough away from the noise of the downtown to relax and enjoy your visit. I would definitely stay there again.
DAVID, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a lovely little gem tucked away in Santa Elena. Great for families, couples and large groups. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant is fantastic. Lots of outdoor seating and garden areas to relax. Would recommend and hope to return.
Stephen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Yard view is good. Breakfast is definitely a plus. Sound proof is not that good, but we will stay again next time.
Wei, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very nice pick for Montverde stay. Close to fabulous dining spots and remains a quiet and cozy nest for a day of travelling. Eco-friendliness of the hotel is worth mentioning.

8/10 Very good

Very humid with no AC, but the staff brought a fan immediately on request. Beautiful grounds and convenient location.
